I have located a few more articles on the subject that I found relevant to the issue.

3)Affective Networks-The “why” of learning. —How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.

I do not believe that UDL is the answer to everything, however I would say it will be a great tool and measuring stick to allow us to proceed effectively in the future.

There are a variety of software programs and other products available which can be used to apply UDL principles, but UDL principles can be applied without these products.

I think that Frank did a wonderful job summarizing the article on Universal Learning Design.

I think that the following statement is important “UDL provides a vision for breaking the “one-size-fits-all” mold and therefore expands the opportunities for learning for all students with learning differences,”

Audio books are hit or miss for me.

I am also still struggling with thinking of certain technologies that can be used to help us recognize patterns. I think that many tools are available that do aid the process, but is there a possibility for something to be developed that exclusively applied to this idea. Something that can be used just for the purpose of recognizing and organizing these patterns and experiences. I wonder if we could better track how we remember things, the connections we make in our brains, or how we mentally store information, if that would make us more aware of what we learn, how we learn, and how we can learn better. I know this seems like a slightly crazy though, but I like to dream.

I truly enjoyed reading "On Intelligence" these past couple of weeks and even filled out the survey. I think it's a something that has more unique ideas than just theories/theorists, tools, technology, etc. I can see myself continuing reading this book outside of class because it really is interesting and is written in a way that's easily understandable. I'm happy that we got the opportunity to read this and take a break from all of the articles. :P

I know that we've talked about UDL all throughout LRND courses, but I feel as if this is an important and relevant topic that could almost be it's own course. Learning how to properly evaluate needs of students, selecting proper tools, and creating a UDL friendly module would be a great experience for LRND students.

I enjoyed the different formats, but did find the voice to be a little quick when speaking. Made it interesting nonetheless.

The author mentions that UDL is meant to “level the playing field” for learners with all kinds of disabilities and I think that it has the potential to enhance the learning experience for all types of learners.

As a learning designer I want to take it upon myself to promote this new approach within the learning environments I create in the future.

I have seen students in a classroom setting that could not apply themselves, but when the teacher changed the method of delivery, the student perked up and began to do well with the material presented to them.

This is emphatically wrong. Hawkins needs to consult with neuro-psychologist in the field of brain trauma to become enlightened.
